I don't disagree completely with the purported reasons that Mueller didn't indict. The possibility of double jeopardy might also play into it if he assumes there will be action from NY state AG.
Sure, Mueller probably doesn't care about pardons, but he does care about the law and institutions charged with enforcing it.
It ain't over yet. Plus, we need to see what is actually in the report before we make calls like this.

Right(?)....I don't get it either. Mueller doesn't give a rats ass about pardons.

But Red Don can give a blanket pardon for any upcoming crimes they could be charged with right?

Why would Mueller care about pardons though? He didn't for the other 37 indictments.

Mueller farmed out everything he could to State jurisdictions, where Presidential pardons cant reach

Fuck that. If Jr did the crime he should be inducted. We pick and choose now?
